The Multistate Atmospheric Power Production Pollution Study/Regional Acidity of Industrial Emissions, MAP3S/RAINE program includes measurement and modeling of fossil-fuel effluent concentrations in precipitation and air in the northeastern United States. To determine precipitation concentrations of sulfur and nitrogen oxides as well as PO/sub 4//sup 3 -/, Cl/sup -/, Na/sup +/, K/sup +/, NH/sub 4//sup +/, Ca/sup 2 +/, Mg/sup 2 +/, pH, and conductivity, an eight-1 site precipitation network in rural eastern United States has been established. Two Dionex Model 10 ion chromatographs are being used to analyze the precipitation samples. This paper describes the use and operation of these instruments. (ACR)
